Port Vale Football Club released a statement this morning (31 January), following rumours that Robbie Williams had made a bid to buy the club.

A number of national news outlets, including The Sun and The Mirror, reported yesterday that Robbie Williams was "preparing a bid to buy the club".

Port Vale said: "Robbie Williams has not made a bid to purchase Port Vale Football Club and there have been no conversations regarding that happening.

This comes as Robbie was appointed a Club President of Port Vale on Saturday (Wiki Commons).

"Robbie and his team attended the match this past weekend, where he became Club President and officially opened the suite that is now named after him.

"There are a number of positive club projects that both Carol and Robbie are exploring with the intention of anything delivered being in the best interests of Port Vale Football Club".
